  • Ok, fine, if no one else will do it, here’s the list:

    • Haitian immigrants eating cats and dogs
    • Harris wants to bring back the military draft
    • Harris had notes during her CNN interview
    • schools are sending children for gender-affirming surgeries without their parents’ knowledge
    • Harris was sent to negotiate with Putin about Ukraine; her failure started the war
    • Harris decided to identify as Black only a few years ago
    • Harris was the first candidate to quit the Democratic primary of 2020
    • “Every Democrat, every Republican, everybody wanted Roe v. Wade terminated and brought back to the states”
    • “if I ran with an honest vote counter in California I would win California, but the votes are not counted honestly.”
    • that he was named “Man of the Year” in Michigan before he entered politics.
    • “the Congo” has deliberately emptied prisons to somehow get its criminals to come to the United States as migrants.
    • The government had been planning to release the report that employment grew less than previously expected after election day, but “a patriot leaker” forced them to release it early


  • Interestingly, the researchers noted that the brain regions identified in this study are part of a broader network connected to cognitive functions like reasoning, belief formation, and moral decision-making. These areas are also associated with conditions like pathological confabulation—a disorder where individuals create false memories or beliefs without the intent to deceive. Confabulation is often linked to cognitive rigidity and difficulty in revising beliefs, characteristics that are also found in individuals with high levels of religious fundamentalism.

    The researchers also found a spatial overlap between brain lesions associated with criminal behavior and this fundamentalism network, which aligns with previous research suggesting that extreme religious beliefs may be linked to hostility and aggression toward outgroups.

    Is that Republicanism in a nutshell, or what?






  • I really liked my Keebio FoldKB, which I wrote about here, although for me the main attraction was its similarity to a standard keyboard, which sounds like it isn’t a consideration for you. I currently have a Moonlander, and the last time I was going on a trip, I packed it up but said “f*ck it” because it was just too cumbersome, and just relied on my laptop’s keyboard. I’ve taken my FoldKB on trips before, though, and it was much easier to take along. I think I will continue to use it on trips.
